Synonyms of "Suburb" and their differences
Q:
Qual é a diferença entre suburb e suburbs ?
A:
suburb = singular
suburbs = plural
A suburb is a type of neighborhood.
A neighborhood is usually a small group of houses which is built close together, so they all know each other as neighbors. So the houses on both sides of the street, for one block (until it is interrupted by end streets going in the other direction) is a common neighborhood concept.
Most of the time, you don't need to pluralize it. But sometimes you need to talk about a bigger area which has a lot of smaller neighborhoods in it, so you may say "neighborhoods" or "suburbs" instead of just "neighborhood" or "suburb". Because you are talking about several at once, instead of only talking about the one that you live in. So that is when you might use the plural version.

Using "a suburb" vs "the suburb"... in English when you say "a thing" it means in general, any example of that thing, any one of them it doesn't matter which one. But when you say "the thing" it means a very specific example of that thing, the one that you are pointing at, the one that you are talking about, the one that is red instead of all the others which are blue, etc.
So:
"I bought a cake at the store." [any cake, the details don't matter] vs "I bought the cake we talked about with the pink icing flowers on it." [a very specific cake].
So for suburb, "a suburb" is just any example of a suburb, it is not being very specific. You are probably just talking about the concept of any suburb at any place.
But "the suburb" is a specific example of a suburb, so maybe "the suburb on the left side of the street" [so that you know which one they mean] or "the suburb on the east side of town" or "the suburb that I grew up in was..." etc. There may be several of them, but you are only talking about a very specific one.
In general:
If it uses "the" in front of it, then you know it is a specific example.
If it uses "a" or "an" in front of it, then you know it is just any of them, the details don't matter.

Q:
Qual é a diferença entre suburb e suburbia ?
A:
"Suburb" refers to a specific town, while "suburbia" is more metaphorical and represents the idea of suburbs as a whole. It can also refer to the culture shared by middle class white-collar suburban residents, as well as stereotypes that apply to them. It's usually pejorative because it's used to label the suburban lifestyle as generic and devoid of any meaning.
Here's a picture that I think kind of captures the idea of "suburbia": http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-bbv8b2tClX4/VcAwTeldjyI/AAAAAAAAP7A/oH0852qb0jI/s1600/suburbia0611b.jpg

Context>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
But before joining Sessions' staff, Whitaker was publicly critical of the special counsel.
"I think fundamentally this investigation by Bob Mueller needs to be limited," Whitaker said during an interview with Sean Hannity in 2017.
In an interview to air this Sunday, House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi told CBS News' "Face the Nation," she thinks Whitaker needs to step aside.
"I think that he should recuse himself for any review of the investigation because of statements he has made already in the public domain," Pelosi said.
In his first interview since leaving office, former Attorney General Jeff Sessions said he is "confident" that the Mueller probe will be handled "appropriately and with justification," though he did criticize how long the investigation is taking. Sessions declined to discuss the details of his forced resignation.
Today Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, who had been seeing the Russia investigation, praised his new boss as a "suburb choice" to be Acting Attorney General.
